Torture and our government

I believe our founding fathers are rolling over in their graves! Because our current "President" is destroying the nation they helped to create. I wonder exactly what our founding fathers would say if they were alive today. I'm sure Obama's hero- President Lincoln- would not approve of anything that Obama has done to this country- I pray the decent, common sense thinking individuals in this country will stand up and all together say- NO MORE!!!

How can you trust someone who is against interrogation of terrorists, but supports abortion?!



I knew that from the moment I heard this man had won the election that the agenda was going to unfold very quickly. Remember, folks. He's in office for another four years. And just like the democrats came in and took the majority seats, the American people, even the ones who voted for this guy, will replace most of those dems with reps. Then we'll see how far he gets with his agenda. Remember, this is the guy who said "I'm only going to be in office for four years". If he can do this much damage in 100 days, imagine what he can do in the next 1360 days if we don't stand up and clean house? (pun intended...) :)

I am shocked too! I don't quite get it the way the Obama administration and his followers think. If their child was in a life and death situation and we could use waterboarding to get information that would save this child's life, would they pity the terrorist instead of putting the life of their child first? They make no sense and I worry about the safety of our country and what message they are sending abroad to other countries. So happy this column is here where I can listen and write to "real" people, not brainwashed individuals who think celebrity is popular and leadership is not important.

I too, am not shocked at all. He made it clear what his agenda was, people just didn't listen. He is shutting down Gitmo, and releasing some of the most dangerous men in the world. Why not just open the doors to all the prisons and let them go too? Obama, Pelosi, Reid, they all have one goal: destroy America. Someday soon people are going to have to wake up and see that we need to protect ourselves FIRST. The rest of the world has depended on us for so long they have become disabled. America is going down that path too. It starts with taking prayer out of school, and lax moral values. Look where that has gotten us so far. The Constitution needs to be required reading for anyone running for office. Obama obviously spent more time studying the Koran than he did American History, or he would know that this country was founded on CHRISTIAN beliefs. The sad thing is, the true heroes, the men and women that interrogated monsters to protect us may have to face charges. Where is the justice? If I hear one more bleeding heart talk about the "rights" of the terrorists, I am going to loose it. They are TERRORISTS. Not a foreign countries army. They have no rights as American citizens, and no rights under the Geneva Convention. (Since we are apparently the only country that has to even follow the Geneva Convention). As far as I am concerned, our people did what they had to do to get the information necessary to keep us safe. After the interrogations were over, those terrorists should have been lined up and shot. Democracy and negotiations do not work with pure evil. I guess the truth is that Pelosi, Reid and Obama would rather have muslim extremists running around than "Right wing Radicals". What a joke.

Im not shocked. Liberals hate our country and wanted us to lose the war on terror since it started. They can say they are just against the Iraq war but thats just not the case. They have spoken out against our troops and our mission since 9-12.





I personally don't care if we use some enhanced techniques when dealing with terrorists. They are terrorists, when they kidnapped people what do they do to them? They really use torture and it usually ends with a beheading and then to top that off they send the tape around so everyone has to watch it. But hey lets not discuss who we're actually dealing with or anything. The liberals want us all to think these people are innocent. They're not. They were caught on the battlefield trying to kill our troops or they were caught because they are known terrorists.

No, I am not shocked. This man has no idea what he is doing, he is just a puppet for the democratic liberal party. WAKE UP AMERICA!!! Obama and his cohorts are selling our souls to the devil, we must take back our country so that our childeren and there children will leave in a country that is still free and not run by the government.

I think Obama is selling us out. I also think it was his intention from the very beginning. I truly believe he is a Muslim, so he is going to side with them. He's already said how counrty is NOT a Christian nation. That in it's self is scary. I think there will be other things to watch for that will also be scary.

Macy,

Yes the answer is yes he is stupid he is trying to bring this country to it's knees, and no I don't know why!!! Other than he is so anti-American and the librals are so blinded by his charm that they don't see what it is he is doing. But then I guess they are so blinded by thier own greed that don't want to pay attention b/c it might disrupt what they are doing to this country!!!

Shocked? Absolutely not! Everything this man has done since he was sworn in was pre-meditated- it's his game plan to sell America's soul to the devil! I think he's very coniving & he knows EXACTLY what he is doing to our country! I was leary of him from the get go & since he's taken office everything he has done has proven my fears to be legitimate. I believe it's his plan to tear apart what our founding fathers established. I believe that people like him are what divides the people of this nation- always pushing for gay rights, minority rights, terrorist's rights... why do they have to label everyone- dividing everyone- and then shine a spotlight on the differences we have. America is supposed to be the melting pot- where race is not an issue; where you are free to practice any religion you choose (or don't choose); where you have the right to your opinion & the right to state your opinion out loud; it's also a country where you are free to break the law & then pay for it!

Obama's plan is to push minority rights- not to the point where all Americans are even, but to the point where the minorities have more given to them even if they haven't worked for it. There are a lot of claims that minorities aren't given the same opportunities as white Americans, but I believe the truth is that some of them squander those opportunities because they don't want to have to apply any effort.

As for religion, I don't care what religion a person is- as long as they don't want to kill me because I believe in God- I have a real problem with that! I don't understand all religions, but I certainly don't want to kill a Catholic person or a Jewish person or a Muslim person just because they worship differently than I do. What kind of God would encourage such hatred?

And have you noticed the free speech right slipping away? Yeah, that's their plan- to shut down talk radio because it keeps right-minded Americans informed on the issues unlike all the liberal media outlets. Why aren't they talking about shutting down CNN? They don't report the news from both sides... but that's how Obama works- it's all one-sided for the liberals. Did you see the Republican convention during the election? Did you see the people outside protesting & rioting? Really??? What is wrong with these people- you didn't see the right-wingers running around like crazy loons during the democratic convention... and to be honest, if there was a time for running around crazy, that would have been the time... YIKES!

I was amazed when I read about the sole pirate who survived in the hijacking of our American ship- how the civil rights attorney in the USA wasn't sure we had the RIGHT to prosecute this young man because he wasn't sure about the territory or blah, blah, blah.... but the same week the media named Condaleeza Rice as one of the main people in approving waterboarding the terrorists and our newly-elected President Obama was pulling out the secrets from the Bush adminstration to examine whether or not to go after our own people for infringing on the rights of the terrorists.

Let me clear on this... TERRORISTS DON'T HAVE RIGHTS! If you threaten our country, steal our goods, kidnap or kill our people, then you should expect the wonderful power of the United States Armed Forces to come down on you with full force... holding back nothing... giving not an inch... and if you are lucky enough to survive the wrath of America's military, then you should kneel down to whatever God you have & thank him/her/it for letting you be prosecuted in an American court for your crimes! I love this country, but I sure am disappointed with the leaders of it right now. I'm afraid it's going to get worse before it gets better- there will be a huge mess to mop up when Obama is impeached for treason :-)

If that's the case, then Nancy Pelosi should be prosecuted since she knew all along what waterboarding was, and was ok with it at the time. Liberal democrats do not make any sense, they will do more to protect a terrorist then a innocent unborn baby. We only know with Obama it will only be a matter of time that something bad happens to our country, especially since he leaked the classified documents.



The terrorists are probably laughing their heads off at our President!
